The focus of Shapiro\u2019s speech was identifying and countering the ideology of leftists using education and entertainment to groom children into embracing sexualized identities and lifestyles: transgressivism. Shapiro first explained the ideology in depth earlier Tuesday in an op-ed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/the-rise-of-the-transgressives\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Daily Wire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The ideology has infected U.S. culture and is exemplified in internet influencers such as Dylan Mulvaney and Jazz Jennings, two popular transgender personalities who have leveraged their identities through social media and television into massive platforms. The portrayal of Mulvaney and Jennings\u2019 sexual identities is part of a broader effort to normalize transgressive ideas that break down traditional values and seduce confused or impressionable people, especially children.<\/p>\n<p>Mulvaney and Jennings\u2019 new lifestyles as trans women are anchored through a process known as gender-affirming health care, which \u201cought to properly be termed sex-denying health care,\u201d Shapiro says. Such health care involves estrogen or testosterone treatments, cutting off the breasts of a female, or surgically inverting a male\u2019s penis to craft a fake vagina.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe transing of the kids has become the latest symptom of a far deeper and more profound evil in Western civilization. That evil is the broad redefinition of Western identity as a whole around subjective sexual feeling,\u201d Shapiro said.<\/p>\n<p>Western morality has discarded the traditional idea that sees \u201cidentity as a symbiotic relationship between the individual and society.\u201d Identity lies between \u201cbiology and the institutions that shape us.\u201d The goal of parenting, Shapiro says, is to \u201ccivilize your child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, Western morality has discarded this idea. Who we are is not a question of society or institutions or roles. Instead, who we are is a question of internal feeling alone,\u201d Shapiro said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTransgressivism treats both behavior and desire as immutable characteristics, like race or sex, thus removing freedom or responsibility,\u201d the conservative commentator continued. The removal of responsibility, and thus purpose, has generally left people feeling aimless, empty, and depressed.<\/p>\n<p>Transgressivism seeks the destruction of Western values, institutions, and norms because they are seen as corruptive influences that constrain and warp one\u2019s true identity, which lies in pure animalistic freedom and desire. Transgressive identities have not just become normalized in society. Large swaths of the Democratic Party, the legacy media, academia, and corporate America are celebrating them, and, conversely, punishing those who criticize them.<\/p>\n<p>Transgressivism has spread with the aid of three factors: the decline of religious practice, the advance of science and easy birth control, and the spread of a belief that traditions and values must be explained \u201ctabula rasa\u201d without an appeal to ancient custom. To further their ideology, the transgressives\u2019 chief target to remake society is children, according to Shapiro.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is not a lot of question that transgressivism targets kids,\u201d Shapiro said after quoting the lines of a San Francisco Gay Men\u2019s Chorus song. The song goes in part:<\/p>\n<p><em>You think that we\u2019ll corrupt your kids<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If our agenda goes unchecked<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Honey, just this once, you\u2019re correct!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We\u2019ll convert your children, happens bit by bit<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Quietly and subtly and you will barely notice it\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We\u2019ll convert your children, we\u2019ll make them tolerant and fair\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We\u2019re coming for them. We\u2019re coming for your children.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have to [target kids] because if you wish to construct a society that hates all the institutions, you have to start with a crowd of people that haven\u2019t been shaped and molded by the institutions,\u201d Shapiro said. \u201c[The transgressives] actually believe they are doing a favor to kids, [that] they are liberating the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most obvious manifestation of this, which we\u2019ve seen pretty much all over the United States, is Drag Queen Story Hour or Family Friendly Drag Shows across the country,\u201d Shapiro said. \u201cWhy is this happening? Well, it\u2019s promotion of transgressivism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Transgressivism has led to an explosion of children identifying as LGBTQ in certain areas of the United States. The ideology can be beaten back and eventually defeated, however, according to Shapiro. Conservatives must push their state and local governments to take action. The pundit used his fellow Daily Wire host Matt Walsh as an example.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh recently uncovered child transgender surgeries going on at Vanderbilt Medical Center. He has since held a rally outside the Tennessee State Capitol and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/tennessee-looking-at-child-gender-transition-legislation-after-vanderbilt-transgender-videos-released\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pressured<\/a> state lawmakers to take up legislation that would ban such \u201cgender-affirming\u201d care for children.<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro said conservatives must also fight transgressivism personally in their own lives. \u201cThe best way to fight transgressivism is to not only lead lives of purpose and meaning embedded firmly in the institutions that make our civilization great, but pass those values on to our kids and insist that we be able to pass those values on to our kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we don\u2019t, we are not just going<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transgressive activists are seeking to manipulate and pervert children into sexual identities in order to undermine Western values, institutions, and norms, according to Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro.
